I guess it's better than blowing farts in the office.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

my son is a compulsive snorter and throat clearer. They are tics, he can't help them sad

I wonder if my daughter has something similar. She'll often (like a few times a day) do this throat clearing think that sounds like she's trying to cough up a hairball or some shit. I asked her "Why do you keep doing that?" And she just shrugged and said "I don't know..."

eh, at least they're not farting.

That's so much worse. I got into a lift on my own the other day and some dirty bastard had left the smell of their bowels in there before me. Naturally as i exited one of the hottest girls in the building got in. sigh

my kid is constant, I'm very aware of it when we are watching a movie for example, he'll go snort, snort, snort, snort, clear, clear, clear, every few minutes. If I comment he gets upset and says he can't help it.

Mine isn't quite so constant, and she does snort beforehand which is weird, because I wonder what it is she's trying to work out in there. It's just this sudden guttural sound in from her throat.

If people have to blow their nose in public, fine. Just don't make a meal out of it.

I hate snot. If I had to choose between wiping someone else's nose or their arse, I'd probably rather wipe their arse. looking at snot makes me gag.

This is possibly the most disgusting thing i've ever seen -

as a fairly typical Englishman, i'm mad for football. why does every cunt think that blowing his snot onto the pitch is part of the game?

you'd think gobbing everywhere was bad enough...

I get allergies. Badly sometimes. So I am not contagious, no reason for me to stay home. One of my allergies is dust. I honestly sneeze at my desk at least 3 times an hour, every day. Thankfully, my coworkers laugh about it. I had one once who used to tell me I only get one "bless you" a day. Most of the time it's a quick sneeze, but when they're bad enough that I need to blow my nose, I'd be up and running to the bathroom more than once an hour. It would be ridiculous to me to be running back and forth to the restroom all day.

I'd never do it at a dinner table. Or in a work cafeteria for that matter. Or lots of other places. But at my own desk at work? Yep. I have to listen to you chew your breakfast and recount your boring evening when your friend stops by, you get to listen to me blow my nose. Get over it.

when i was younger, I never really thought about it. But, as I've grown older, I just feel blowing your nose at your desk is very uncouth. So, whenever I have to do it, I always go to the restroom.

maybe if talking on cellphones in public is acceptable, blowing one's nose is too.

I think that's a good analogy, cause there's a time and place. Chatting on a phone at your desk or in a hallway at work? Totally acceptable. But it would be rude to do so in a meeting or while eating with someone, and it would be rude to blow your nose as well.

Does she have a cold all the time or is it a temporary thing? If it's tomporary, you can't do much about it....you can't expect someone to walk out of the office all the time.

If she does it all the time, i would say something about, she should see a doctor.

For me, clearing your throat, would be something else. I would for sure say something about it! You don't need to clear your throat al the time.

anyway, talk to her...always the best solution

you know what, I used to be allergic to my workplace.

I would be fine outside of work hours, but at work I had cold symptoms, every day I worked there. I had to take an antihistamine each morning

hmmm maybe this person is also allergic to work!

I seriously think I'm allergic to something at my workplace. For the past 11 months I cough very frequently at night when I lay down. I have been to the doctor at least 5 times, had a chest x-ray, etc. I never had any of these problems before I starting working at this place -- it's a really old building and our office, frankly, is pretty shabby. My current regime involves 3 pills/day (various allergy meds) and nasal spray twice a day. If I forget to do it, I'm sneezing at work right away. It sucks. I hate my office.

By the way, I almost always go to the bathroom to blow my nose, unless I'm the only one on my side of the office. I find is sort of weird and gross when people (esp. strangers) do it in public.

nod I don't doubt it

Ask them if the air-conditioning ducts have ever been cleaned out, or if there is a damp problem.

As soon as I finished up work there, I've been fine ever since. I've temped there a few times, and I always bring with me a box of tissues and take an antihistamine before I go in.

lol The building doesn't have central air, each office has a window unit. And there are nasty pigeons that roost and shit all over them and windowsills. I'm sure all sorts of gross bird germs and dander are being blown all over the office every time we turn them on. There is no ventilation to get the stale air out, either.

Pretty much. When I said "shabby" I was being polite. On the bright side, I don't have my own office, therefore I have no air conditioner to blow nasty air on me. On the dark side, it means I roast all summer.
